The Clipper Oil Seal design features an integrally molded rubber fiber outer case and an elastomeric seal lip. The unique, nonmetallic construction will not rust or corrode and forms a gasket-type seal between the equipment housing and the seal outside diameter (OD).

Clipper Split Seals are known for being the easiest split seal to install because they do not require a cover plate to keep them in the housing. The composite OD provides the best retention of any split seal available. Replacing failed seals in with Clipper Split Seals saves on downtime and lost production expenses.

Clipper seals are available for shaft diameters from 0.250″ (6.35 mm) to over 65″ (1651 mm) in both standard and high-performance elastomer compounds. With over 10,000 tooled sizes, Clipper seals are readily available for most applications in either a solid or split design.

Stainless Steel Springs Are Standard on all Clipper Oil. Seals where the industry standard is a lower quality carbon steel. Clipper’s spring material provides improved lip loading at higher temperatures and resists the rust and corrosion that is common with lower-quality materials. The upgraded spring ensures consistent lip loading over the life of the seal.

Split Clipper® Oil Seals have the same superior characteristics as solid general purpose Clipper Oil Seals, but are factory-split at one place in the circumference. This permits installation over the side of a shaft, rather than over the end, and often can save dismantling the equipment in order to replace the existing rotary shaft seal.

Solid Clipper Oil Seals should be used whenever practical to provide maximum bearing protection in rotating shaft applications. However, installing a solid seal in a failed application can be costly and time consuming. In such cases, Split Clipper Oil Seals can be used to minimize unscheduled downtime, specifically where equipment cannot be uncoupled. These seals will provide long and efficient service until major or scheduled machine overhaul permits convenient installation of a regular non-split seal.

Split Clipper Oil Seals are available in Series R, RPD and RUP profiles, depending upon shaft diameter. RUP and RPD profiles are general purpose spring loaded with a single lip and are widely used as replacement seals because they provide superior bearing protection and embody a unique principle of design. The tough, dense outer case and a soft, flexible lip are concentrically molded as a single unit. The seal"s nonmetallic outer case forms a leak-free, press fit in the housing, conforming to minor surface irregularities.

Seals have a crucial impact on system performance. By choosing SKF Seals, you can make a difference to the capability, durability and performance of your equipment - reduce friction, extend maintenance intervals and achieve greater value while increasing sustainability. With a seal by its side, there’s nothing our bearings can’t do.

Backed by more than 100 years of industrial application experience, SKF sees every sealing challenge as an opportunity to boost performance. Our customers benefit from our unmatched understanding of both the interaction between bearings, seals and lubrication, as well as the dynamics of reciprocating systems.

For example CR Seals has been setting performance and service life standards for industrial and automotive shaft seals. ​CR Seals has also been part of SKF since 1990, a span during which we’ve developed new materials, manufacturing processes and designs to create some of the most robust seals on the market.

Rotary seals come in many profiles with a variety of lip configurations. Some applications may only require one lip while others may require multiple sealing lips. Some even require multiple sealing lips with a “dust” lip to prevent dirt, dust, or fluid from entering the cylinder itself.

Rotary seals can have a metal outer case (called a “can”) or a nonmetallic outer case, such as in the Parker JM Clipper seal. Metal cased rotary seals might have a rubber jacket to assist in the sealing on the outside diameter. Some rotary seals have no case at all, such as the V-seal. You will also find rotary seals with garter springs. Garter springs are used to provide a constant load on the sealing lip.

Mechanical seals, bearing isolators, and cartridge seals are also types of rotary seals. Most commonly found in pumps and mixers, mechanical seals have one rotating face and one static face. All mechanical seals are fitted with an O-ring.

Pumps, mixers, motors, turbines and gear boxes in a variety of industries are susceptible to problems that can be caused by an inadequate sealing system.

The Seal Specialists at Web Seal can recommend the best sealing solutions for your needs.  We offer more than 700 English and metric Parker and Clipper oil shaft seals for all applications, in sizes ranging from .250” up to 72”.  Traditional metal canned and rubber-coated designs are available along with one-piece bonded seals (typically PTFE-to-elastomer).
